JOBS FOR College
Students
Most college students leave high school and discover they’ve got more freedom. And that leads to greater challenges. Where to get the money to enjoy all this independence? Like, maybe, it’s time to get a job. EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN (EMT-B)
Working as an EMT-B is the perfect job for health sciences, pre-med, and nursing majors. In most states, this role requires 120 hours of training, and many universities offer for-credit classes to get your EMT certification. Once you're recognized by the state, you can work in an emergency department or in the back of an ambulance. If you work for a private company, you'll transport elderly patients to medical appointments or home from the hospital, giving you a first-hand look at many chronic illnesses. You can pick up a few shifts per week during the school year or work full-time over the summer to earn serious cash. Either way, you'll be enhancing your studies and building credentials to seriously impress future employers.
BRAND AMBASSADOR
Companies need young, high-energy workers to represent their brands at night clubs, festivals, and concerts. Brand ambassadors hand out product samples, collect consumer contact information, and give away branded gear like T-shirts and water bottles. If you're an extrovert, this is one of the easiest ways to make money and enjoy flexible hours. You can choose your own schedule and make $15 to $30 an hour while attending fun events. Look on Craigslist and your school's job posting board for gigs or ask workers for tips on finding a job at the next big event you attend.
